罗东镁铁质-超镁铁质岩体位于塔里木板块东北部的新疆北山地区,岩体平面形态为眼球状,出露面积约21km^2。由纯橄岩、单辉橄榄岩、斜长二辉橄榄岩、橄榄二辉岩、方辉辉石岩、橄长岩、橄榄辉长岩、辉长岩、苏长辉长岩和淡色辉长岩组成,堆晶结构和堆晶韵律发育,属于层状岩体。岩浆演化过程中主要分离结晶/堆晶相是橄榄石和单斜辉石,此外还有斜长石、铬尖晶石和斜方辉石。岩石地球化学特征表明岩体与围岩之间的同化混染较弱。原生岩浆属于苦橄质岩浆(MgO=14.7%),并且具有高的岩浆结晶温度(1412℃)。OIB型Nd、Sr同位素组成和高温苦橄质原生岩浆暗示,罗东岩体的形成可能与地幔柱活动有关,是地幔柱轴部部分熔融的产物。由此表明,塔里木板块东北部早二叠世幔源岩浆岩也应该隶属于塔里木大火成岩省。
Lens shaped Luodong mafic-ultramafic intrusion lies in Beishan region of Xinjiang in Northeastern Tarim Plate and covers an area of 2.1 km^2. It consists of dunite, wehrlite, plagio-lherzolite, olivine websterite, peridotite pyroxenite, tructolite, olivine gabbro, gabbro, noritegabbro and leucogabbro. The Luodong intrusion is a layered intrusion with obvious cumulus textures and rhythmics. The mainly fractional crystallized or cumulated phases are olivine and clinopyruxene, together with minor plagioclase, orthopyroxene and Cr-spinel during magma evolution. The geochemical feature indicates weak crustal contamination. The primary magma is picritic with MgO contents up to 14.7% and high crystallization temperature of 1412 ℃. OIB-like Nd, Sr isotopic compositions and high temperature picritic primary magma indicate that Luodong intrusion may have an affinity with mantle plume and be formed by partial melting of axis plume. The Early Permain mantle-derived magmatic rocks in Northeastern Tarim Plate are thus a part of Tarim Large Igneous Province.
